A cartoon on the value of fairy tales, from the Jan. 8, 1919 issue of
Punch. The caption reads:
Poor Old Woman (to youth, who has given her a gratuity and relieved her of her load of wood):
"I PRESUME, MY KIND YOUNG FRIEND, THAT YOU ARE THE YOUNGEST OF THE THREE BROTHERS WHO ARE GOING OUT TO SEEK THEIR FORTUNES?"
Clever Youth: "NO, I'M THE ELDEST. BUT I'VE BEEN READING THE STORIES."
